I rest my case, but I am keeping my big trap shut and my big ears to the ground for the moment.

Does this mean that are only +/-100 Rhino killed so far this year in the rest of SA, compared to the 700 and something in Kruger??

Nope.
A hell of a lot more killed than the "official" figures we have at the moment.

Sprocky , I also heard a figure like that mentioned , but more qualified as being more than 1000 since since January 2012 , which , of course , does make more sense , albeit unacceptable

Anybody know if a census was done in 2013?
Info here, Duke!

A census was promised for this year, like last year!
Would not have been a proper one this year either, I'm afraid...transects flown in a few sectors and statistically extrapolated etc...
